Annie: the Musical

i haven't even heard of it. i'd love to see it

It's called "Life After Tomorrow"...they were airing it on A&E a while ago. Really worth finding, I enjoyed it.

Meanwhile, I think we need a song break

Life After Tomorrow is on Hulu.

yes!

i loved to hear jay z talking about annie on fresh air

I liked him describing the "izzo/izzay" type of suffixes as "a kind of pig latin." I'd never thought that, but... yeah, that's about right.

i liked that too!

Funny, I just showed this to my kids for the first time. Am I right that there's no adequate transfer of this on DVD? Only cropped or pan and scan?

ARe little kids snobs about widescreen these days?

I know I was! Ever since I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark and it was the letterbox edition...

1. Carol Burnett should've been nominated for and maybe won an Oscar for her pratfalls in "Easy Street" alone.
2. It was because of this movie that I used to, as a 6 year old, use the term "Bolshevik" as an insult.

And you still do, you godless Trotskyite.

hi ned!!

Hi there!

This was always on HBO or something when we first got cable but I'm still not sure if I ever actually saw it all the way through in one sitting, it was like I caught bits of it here and there each time. Carol Burnett ruled.

Downloaded a rip of the soundtrack to add "Maybe" to my karaoke playlist. The banter at the beginning of "Sign" is pretty hilarious without the visuals.

Burnett: "My GOD, is that thing real?!"

Love how Burnett talks to the radio at the beginning of 'Little Girls'

I think she's part of the reason I've always been mildly nervous around drunk ppl, lol

ok ladies, did anyone see the movie that featured the Broadway cast of Annie talking about getting their periods?

O_O

that's.... a hell of a cast list

Menstruating Girl

i remember when I was a kid i thought misses hannigan was pretty cool but now that i am an adult I think she's REALLY cool

your clothes MAY BE
beau BRUMMELY

UH youre never fully dressed

Don't encourage her, Punjab!

WHYYYY DO I SMELL WET DOG??

I hate the belters, they remind me of every girl between the ages of ten and thirteen thinking they could be a Broadway star. The movie isn't bad though, the actress playing Annie is really low key.

Except when she sings or acts.

lol yeah, "low key" isn't what comes to mind when I think of lil Aileen

What are you talking about, we loved it - stage moms across America threw a fit when that girl was cast in the movie because she didn't sing and act like their little diva in training!

You may be onto something there...

(Maybe) is the best song in the musical, imo.

I think that even without Jay-Z, I'd still vote for "Hard Knock Life" as the best song.

The girls doing their Mrs. Hannigan impressions works, as they say, on so many levels. And the acrobatics in this number!

BTW, I'd never noticed it, but Viceroy is right about there being a whole lot of panty shots in this movie. At one point in "Easy Street," Bernadette Peters hikes up her skirt ALL the way. ALL.

when i was little, "easy street" and "never fully dressed" were my favorites; the latter still is, but it's tied with "maybe" now

"she's sittin playin pee-aaaa-NNAH"

"Easy Street" would be so fun to perform.

^ have done this and it is a blast!

awesome!

Pics plz!

YES

I can't even tell you how much I love this movie. It was the first movie I ever saw in the theater. I was four but I remember how awesome the whole experience was very very clearly. I know most of the songs by heart and many are amazing.

i love "maybe" and it is a great warm-up song

i sing it in the car all the time

I thought pepper was the coolest btw.

dudes, it was in high school. Only a grainy VHS copy exists...somewhere.

I never saw Annie in a theater, but I vividly remember seeing both Star Wars and Grease in the theater, and Grease sticks in my mind WAY more than Star Wars ever did.

Me, I like the singing and the dancing.

we should stage an all-ilx production. We could even have a different Annie for each number so everyone gets a chance at a big song.

my son had a playdate at a friend's house and has been singing Easy Street all week; I forgot that the dad told me a few weeks ago that it was suddenly a big hit over there with his kids.

sister obliged to take kid to this yesterday as the coal in her stocking
